Bulky Throw

April 28, 2015 72 Comments

Click through for a free pattern for a Bulky Knit Throw!

The bulky knit rug I shared last month has been so popular, I thought I’d share a variation on the pattern for using it as a blanket. The polyester yarn used is perfect for a knit throw project because it’s washable. As an owner of two dogs, an often-used throw is going to get dog hair (and maybe a little drool) on it no matter what, so washability is a must for a living room project like this! Maybe human parents out there can relate… ;)

Exhibit A. The original rug pattern, & my dog Woodrow.

Bulky Knit Throw Pattern

Constructed just like the bulky knit rug, this blanket is knit on huge (size 50 US) needles with doubled up yarn. Three panels are knit and then sewn together to form the larger blanket size.

Abbreviations
CO – cast on
k – knit
p – purl
sts – stitches
BO – bind off

Supplies
1 pair size 50 US knitting needles
4 skeins Bernat Blanket yarn (300g/10.5 oz.) in Pale Grey
tapestry needle for sewing panels & weaving in ends
scissors

Gauge: 1 stitch and 1.5 rows/inch in stockinette stitch

The Pattern

This whole pattern is knit holding two strands of yarn together to achieve a bulkier “yarn.”

Panel 1 & 3: Stockinette Panel

CO 20 sts
1. k across
2. p across
Repeat rows 1 & 2 until panel measures 5 feet. BO all sts and weave in ends.

Panel 2: Garter Panel

CO 20 sts
k all rows
Continue until panel measures 5 feet. BO all sts and weave in ends.

Using a tapestry needle, sew panels 1 & 3 to either side of panel 2. Weave in all ends to finish.

    This looks awesome and easy. As a “knewbie” are size 50 needles relatively easy to handle? I know you have this tagged as a beginner pattern, but I also don’t want to get frustrated trying to manipulate giant knitting needles. Thanks. :)

      I think so, especially for brand new “knewbies”! If you’ve been knitting on more standard sizes for awhile, adjusting to the biggest size is a little awkward, which is what I found. Instead of knitting with your fingers/tips of your fingers, you’re using your whole hands, and even some of your forearms, to manipulate the needles. I think uber-bulky knitting isn’t for everyone, but the finished product is really fascinating to look at & touch.

      14 inches. If you’ve got a local JoAnn’s, they’re the plastic size 50 needles from Boye that they carry: http://www.joann.com/boye-jumbo-knitting-needle-pair-14in-size-50-/8215881.html. If you don’t like stitches bunching up at the end of rows, I recommend using circular needles. I don’t mind on a quick project like this, but I know some people really hate that!

            I bought the 4 skeins of yarn as the pattern suggested. I’m no t even finished with the first panel and have already added the last two skeins of yarn on. I’m concerned I will have to buy several more. Any thoughts as to why I’m going through the yarn so quickly?

            What’s the listed yardage/weight listed on your skeins?

    Heidi,

    So happy I found this pattern first off-looks so pretty and I can’t wait to finish… what is the gauge for the yarn you used? I want to use Patons Cobbles yarn I got in a value pack from JoAnn’s and I’m not sure if it would be better with the double strand as you suggested or with just the one.

    Thanks!

      The gauge measures: 4 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in stockinette. I noted the gauge on Ravelry and skipped it here – thanks for asking! I’ll add that to the pattern now. :)

      Yep, you’ll need four 300g skeins Bernat Blanket yarn in Pale Grey. You’ll have to double check the yardage on the labels to confirm. Bernat Blanket has gotten so popular that they’ve released tons of variations on it. Just remember that 300*4= 1200g when you go shopping. Hope this helps! Good luck. :)

    Hi Heidi! Thank you for your continued help on this project! I don’t know if I’m getting the gauge or not. I’ve ripped it out and started over probably five times. I noticed on the picture you have with your dog laying on yours that on the Purl panels you can see the Purl stitch and then a row of the knit stitch. Mine you can only see the Purl stitch but not a row of the Knit stitch. I like the look of yours better. The opposite side only reflects the Knit stitch which I think it should. I couldn’t find the blanket Bernat yarn in the color you used. I ended up buying Bernat Mega Bulky. It is also 10.5 Oz/300 g. It might not be as thick or fat. Any thoughts? Thanks again!

    Hi Heidi,

    I feel even less than a beginner, being older to start learning (63). All the same, my son is going to Afghanistan soon, for several months. I would like to knit him an afghan, to help keep me sane till his return! I think I could undertake this pattern. I found the Bernat Blanket Yarn. My question is this: what happens to a self-striping pattern when you double strand it? I also liked the Inkwell color, which is more symmetrical in nature: not striping, but all 3 colors in every strand. Would either of these things work? Thank you!

      If you use two strands of a self-striping yarn, you have a couple options. You can be really careful and line up the beginning of each color to achieve a matching effect. You can also throw caution to the wind and let them line up however, and the effect will be something called “marled” or “marling.” This article explains a bit about what marling is if you’re curious: https://www.masondixonknitting.com/whats-great-marling/. Best of luck to your son as he’s overseas, and feel free to reach out if you’ve got more questions!

    Do you need 8 skeins if you are doubling up the yarn? Just started and doesn’t look like 4 will be enough if doubling the yarn.

      I’ve successfully knit this twice with 4 skeins Bernat Blanket yarn (300g/10.5 oz.) in Pale Grey, but based on the comments, a lot of folks’ gauge is tighter than mine. If you want to go really big with your blanket, I’d get twice as much yarn just to be safe, and then you can stop whenever you’re happy with the size. Also, if you don’t like seaming, another easy modification is to use circular needles, so you can knit a single panel of garter stitch (knit every row) as wide as you like. Hopefully this is helpful – LMK if you have more questions! -Heidi :)

      This pattern is sections of garter stitch (knit every row) and stockinette stitch (knit one row purl one row), so you can do this pattern at any size you wish and holding however many strands of yarn as you wish. But as with all knitting, it’s up to the knitter (not the designer) to do her own math when adjustments such as these are made. Useful phrases to google for a newbie knitter looking to grow and learn about this subject are “gauge swatch” “knitting tension” and “getting gauge.” I wish you the best on your knitting journey, it’s a whole lot of fun!

      Pretend you’re working from just one skein of yarn. Hold two strands of yarn together for 100% of every step of knitting the pattern.

    Hi there! I’ve decided to give this blanket a try as my quarantine project, but I’m having a really tough time working with this yarn. I’ve started and restarted a dozen times. The yarn seems to stretch and I have unsightly loops where I should have nice clean stitches. I find it hard to hold the yarn and manage the big needles at the same time. I’m definitely a newbie so maybe I’m doing something wrong. Do you have any suggestions?

      My best advice is to ensure you’re not overly tensioning the yarn as you work. This yarn is springy, which can result in needing to take extra care with tension. Best of luck!

      Oh dang! I’ve been there. :) My recs are to either: 1. Tear back and re-start, which I know isn’t everyone’s favorite. Or 2. Make a larger blanket at a tighter gauge. You can still knit it in panels, but you might need three garter and two stockinette panels to compensate for the smaller size.

      Best!

      If your edges are curling, you could have the side panels be garter stitch with a stockinette panel in the middle. That’s the easiest way to avoid the curl! :)

    Thank you for this pattern, Heidi! I’m on the first panel and have a couple of questions if you have time to respond, I’d greatly appreciate it. I was struggling with using two strands of yarn because it’s so bulky. So I stared over using one strand and it’s going better. However, I’ve already gone through 1 skein and the panel is only about 20 inches — no where close to 5 feet. Am I doing something wrong? I purchased Bernat Blanket Big 10.5 oz/300 g – 32 yards per skein. Thank you!

      When you use only one strand, your gauge (a.k.a. the number of stitches and rows per inch) changes. As a beginning knitter, gauge is not a concept you have to have a perfect understanding of to have success, but using one strand of yarn versus two is like using a completely different yarn. Because of that, you’ll have to knit more rows to make a rectangle that’s 5 feet long.

      Best of luck!

      If you cast on 20 stitches while holding two strands of yarn there will be 40 loops on your needle, comprising just 20 stitches.

      The finished size of the blanket depends entirely on your yarn, needles, knitting, & seaming tension. Whether the blanket is big enough is a subjective question depending on what you’d like to make.

      The pattern calls for “1 pair size 50 US knitting needles.” Those are a pair of Size 50 us knitting needles, so you’re set! Some folks prefer circular needles since this is a large project, but that’s up to your personal preference. :)

      Great question! The problem with picking up and knitting is that your new stitches would be perpendicular to the first panel, resulting in a different finished blanket. See this tutorial for examples with photos of what I mean. 👍🏻😊

Let’s talk about fit and ease! . During the Beve Let’s talk about fit and ease!
.
During the Bevelled Tank design process for @pompommag, I knit 2 samples using 2 different @KelbourneWoolens yarns. One was in Skipper (100% cotton, second photo) and the other was in Camper (100% 2 ply wool). The Skipper sample was knit for a 36” bust, which measures in at 40” with 4” of positive ease. And I knit the Camper Sample for my 40” bust with a 44” finished measurement. (BTW, I’m 5’5” for folks that find that measurement helpful in visualizing fit.)
.
Based on the size chart for the Bevelled Tank, that means I knit one size 3 sample and one size 4. As designed, I conveniently fit a size 4 as intended with 4” of positive ease. When I wear the 3, there is no ease at all because the garment and my body are both 40” in size. Comparing the 2 garments, you can see how the fiber content (cotton vs. wool) and fit (no ease vs. 4” of positive ease) makes a difference in the look and feel of the finished garment. 
.
These samples are a great way to compare what ease looks like on different bodies. While I can fit both a size 3 and 4, the garment with no ease feels more like pajamas or a bralette when I wear it. On the other hand, when I wear the one with 4” of positive ease, I feel comfortable enough to wear it to work, even as a crop top. Plus, it leaves me with enough room to layer it with a nice button down if I’m not feeling the cropped look one day. 
.
I’m curious - how would you style this tank? Would you modify it with a few stockinette rows for added length? I’m so curious now that this pattern is finally out in the world. :)

After a 6 month hiatus, I am happy to say I’m ba After a 6 month hiatus, I am happy to say I’m back with a brand new pattern in 9 sizes, and it’s FREE as part of @pompommag x @hobbii_yarn’s summer design collection! (Link is in my bio.)
.
In my December newsletter, I announced that I was soliciting test knitters for a pattern that had originally been selected for the summer ’24 issue of Pom Pom Quarterly magazine. However, the magazine ceased publication after its spring ’24 issue, leaving in-progress designs unpublished. (It happens.) As a result, I’d begun the long process of editing, testing, and photographing the pattern for independent release through the Hands Occupied pattern shop and Ravelry.
.
Before I was done with that process, Pom Pom Quarterly’s former editors reached out with an exciting proposal for the pattern. Post-magazine, they’ve begun to partner with yarn companies to produce high quality pattern collections. They wanted to include designs from the would-be current issue of Pom Pom Quarterly in a new collection for Hobbii yarn, including my Bevelled Tank. I worked with the same technical editors I would have for the magazine on this one, and as you can see from the photos, Pom Pom’s team did an amazing job of styling the garment to the beautiful standards they’re known for.
.
You can learn more about the pattern on my blog and get the free pattern from Hobbii yarn - links to both in my profile. I’ll post sizing info in the comments for quick reference too. 🧶

Here’s a nice throwback for you: my take on a vi Here’s a nice throwback for you: my take on a vintage knitting pattern from 1938 called the Fernlace Pullover. A pattern so nice, I knit it twice.
.
Yellow version 💛: knit with Despondent Dyes’ Vintage Vixen Sport after attending a @squidneyknits vintage knitting retreat in 2019 & learning *so much*. Paired with a self-drafted circle skirt pattern. 
.
Blue version 💙: knit with @eweeweyarns Ewe So Sporty in Sky Blue. Paired with the 1940s Boardwalk Duet sewing pattern from @decades_of_style

Frogging is a word in the knitting world that mean Frogging is a word in the knitting world that means to rip out your knitting. It’s called frogging because frogs say “ribbit,” and when you’re tearing out your knitting, you will “rip it” out, and that sounds like ribbit. No really. 🐸 Did you know this fun fact? 
.
P.S. I did like this design concept, but to make the pattern more knitter friendly as well as more wearable, I am making some tweaks to the construction. Excited to share when it’s ready! 🥰🧶
